Sweet Pea Sympathy

I found a really simple technique on making paper sweet peas on fellow demonstrator Judy Mashall's blog; a link to her tutorial can be found HERE. In short you punch a butterfly from cardstock, dampen it with water then crumple and unfold; re-shape it then set aside to dry. The buds are made with half a butterfly. The green buds of the flowers are made from sections of a scallop circle punch. I glued everything together with Tombow and adhered them to the card with sticky strip to ensure they wouldn't fall off. I will definitely try to make them again - I think my folding technique could use a little practice.

About Me

I live on a small acreage in rural Saskatchewan, Canada with my husband, two young sons, and my hyper Boston Terrier. I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in November of 2010 because I simply LOVE papercrafting and wanted to share my passion for creating with others! I hope this blog inspires you and perhaps gives you a few new ideas along the way!
